OF SIMILAR SCOPE, MAGNITUDE, AND COMPLEXITY

Offeror shall identify at least one two projects of similar scope, magnitude (projects no less than $800,000 $400,000) and complexity as the RFP requirement it and/or its proposed team (i.e., predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement) has/have successfully completed within the past five eight years and provide a technical narrative of those projects identified with the following: experience on similar projects.

Projects referenced in Factor 1 are highly recommended to be referenced in Factor 3.

The Offeror and its proposed team will be evaluated based on identifying at least one two successfully completed projects within the past eight five years and providing a narrative of experience on similar projects. The narrative shall include a description of the project; total dollar value of the project at the time of award and at the time of completion, the Offeror’s role in the project (i.e., as a prime or a subcontractor), and the name, address and telephone number of the owner. In the case of a federal, state or local government project, provide the name, address and telephone number of the Contracting Officer.

The offeror may include projects completed by predecessor companies. The offeror must explain why it believes the projects are similar in scope, magnitude and complexity to the RFP requirement. When relying on the specific, relevant experience of key personnel, and/or major subcontractor, the description must include, in addition to all the above information, and explanation of what role the key person or subcontractor played in the former project, and what specific role that company, key person or subcontractor would perform in this project.

Standard for Acceptability: This standard is met when the Offeror can provide a technical narrative of construction experience in one two or more completed projects within the past eight five years; similar in scope, magnitude (no less than $400,000 $800,000) and complexity on the following: experience on similar projects.

Projects referenced in Factor 1 are highly recommended to be referenced in Factor 3.

The specific elements of experience that must be demonstrated are:

- Experience with elevator construction and/or upgrades of similar size and/or scope with predominance of management and responsibility for the project.

- Experience working on a project ensuring continuity of adjacent existing operations throughout construction.

- Experience managing the upgrade of elevators without loss of facility ability to move sensitive items via elevators throughout the project period of performance.

- Experience working with the USACE including Safety Manual EM385-1-1, 3 phase inspection process, Quality Control, Scheduling

If using subcontractors as team members in demonstrating experience, describe the role they will play in the project and the percentage of work they will be performing.

If submitted project(s) fail Failure to demonstrate the required experience level described within this factor or do not or provide all required information will result in an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating and possible elimination from further consideration for award. Offerors who do not submit experience examples will receive a rating of “acceptable” and may still be considered for award.

FACTOR 2, TECHNICAL APPROACH: TECHNICAL NARRATIVE ON TECHNICAL APPROACH,

METHODS AND PROCEDURES AND SCHEDULE

Proposals will be evaluated as to the Offeror’s ability to perform and to satisfy all contract requirements.

Schedule: The Offeror shall provide a narrative that includes, at a minimum, discussion of proposed sequence of work, mandatory phasing, testing and balancing, interim and final acceptance (to include commissioning). Offers shall include a Gantt chart reflecting the major construction activities with the completion period from the applicable contract Notice to Proceed (NTP). The proposal schedule shall be graphically presented, and may be on a maximum paper size of 11”x17”. The schedule shall reflect the major construction milestones, and the sequence of work required for this project. The schedule shall indicate start/finish dates of events and durations. A detailed network analysis is not required as a proposal submittal item.

Offerors are cautioned that if they do not meet the project duration shown in Section 00 73 00 Paragraph 52.211-10, Commencement, execution and Completion of Work of this Request for Proposal their response for Evaluation Factor 2 may be rated Non-Acceptable. Schedules showing Government submittal review durations to be shorter than are contractually mandated may be rated Non-Acceptable.

Standard of Acceptability: This standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates a commitment to accomplish all the work in accordance with the solicitation requirements, committing to meet scheduling requirements. The standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates an understanding of the work requirements has an adequate plan for customer service and the Quality Control, and has construction safety procedures that are adequate for the work to be performed. The standard is met when the Offeror demonstrates a technically feasible approach to meeting the Government’s requirements. This standard is met when the Offeror has demonstrated that it understands the project requirements and that the project will be completed within the contract performance period.

FACTOR 3, PAST PERFORMANCE: For each project submitted under the Experience factor that does not have an evaluation in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), which includes evaluations submitted in ACASS, CCASS, and CPARS, offerors shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire (PPQ) included at Attachment 2a to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under those contracts. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed PPQs can be returned to the offeror or submitted directly from the client to the Government’s point of contact, Natasha Kennedy, via e-mail at: Natasha.P.Kennedy@usace.army.mil. Offerors are responsible for ensuring completed PPQs are received by the Government prior to the proposal closing date/time. If unable to obtain a completed PPQ for a project timely the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).

If any negative past performance information is received to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. If a PPQ is received on a project that has an evaluation in PPIRS, the PPQ will not be considered.

Offerors who do not submit past performance examples will receive a rating of “acceptable” and may still be considered for award.
